Based on our experience in managing our social media profiles we have seen that many doctors are religiously and regularly posting some very beautifully written and valuable articles and posts on their social media profiles.

Although this is a good practice but as said by Jim Collins – “Good is the enemy of Great”. We would want to ask a few questions to our Doctor friends with respect to this: a. How many patients of yours are connected with you on linked? We believe that most of your LinkedIn connections will be from your professional circle and not patients, is that true? (then they may not really need a patient oriented article /post and they are not your targeted audience) c. what is the echo value of your posts? (we believe its maximum a week)

All we would like to say is that your valuable articles and posts should reach out to the right audience which are patients at large and it should reach out to thousands of patients at the same time to generate good leads. We also believe that these articles and posts are valuable and they should be a part of your profile for as long as you would want them to be rather than disappearing after some time.

Guess by now we all believe that we are living in the age of Information and Social Media. But on the contrast when we conducted our extensive research with the doctors and healthcare experts it revealed that even today one of the key challenges that the health care professionals face is to get discovered by patients and to exhibit their knowledge & expertise. This problem is exacerbated due to two key reasons: a). In many countries doctors are not allowed to do publicity and; b). Patients often don’t know which doctor would be most suitable to help them with their medical difficulty.

With the intent to address this challenge we at HealthyAlways.com have developed a solution in the form of a portal for the doctors/experts.HealthyAlways.com helps the doctors/experts to showcase their expertise and knowledge; and broadcast the same using various social media channels in a verycare-centric manner instead of a commercialized approach. Doctors/experts will be able to amplify the online reach of the responses provided by them for the questions asked by the patients/visitors onHealthyAlways.com by using various simple features available on our portal.

Each doctor/expert will have a user account created on the portal, this account will provide them the access to a dashboard where they can view the status of questions received, questions responded, modify personal profile, use response assistance tools and share the responses on other social media sites (facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, etc.)

In addition to the above we also link the FAQ page of the doctor’s/expert’spersonal website with HealthyAlways.com, as a result the questions responded by them are visible on HealthyAlways.com as well as on his personal website. This helps them in building a personal knowledgebase on their own website and also increases the visits of their personal website.
